ISU Figure Skating Awards

[Debbie S]

I didn't see a thread for this already so letting people know that the annual awards are open for voting on the ISU website and app. You do need to create a login, if you haven't already. Voting open until March 18 at noon CET/7 am ET, winners announced at Worlds on March 29.

The Awards show is currently live on YT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQEutM9wzLQ

Yuma's SP just won for Most Entertaining Program! Very well-deserved award. I enjoyed that program so much through the whole season.

Best costume - Ilia Malinin (for his SP costume not what he was wearing tonight)

 

[Karen-W]

Ilia's FS costume won for Best Costume. Not sure I agree with that. Of the three Finalists (Ilia, Amber's SP and Gilles/Poirier's FD), I would have given it to Amber.

 

[Karen-W]

Best Coach finalists - Damon Allen, Phillip Diguglielmo & Masakazu Kagiyama

I'm appalled that Dmitri Savin wasn't one of the finalists.

And Phillip Diguglielmo wins! No surprise to me at all and very deserved.

 

[Karen-W]

Love how Phil is acknowledging Massimo's contribution.

 

[Karen-W]

Best Choreographer finalists - B E N O I T, Shae-Lynn & Massimo Scali.

No idea who will win this.

Benoit gets the win and Ben Agosto jokes he's the man of a thousand jackets.

Best Newcomer - didn't even name any finalists, just announced Ami Nakai as the winner. Which, fair... Girl did win an Olympic bronze medal in her senior debut season.

I agree with this one. I picked her for this win.

[Karen-W]

LOL - Guillaume's got some heels on his boots.

 

[Debbie S]

Oh, gross. Skaters of the Year - Fournier-Beaudry/Cizeron.

Good to see the ISU taking a stand against sexual assault and abuse...not.

They could have given it to Kaori or Amber...

 

[Debbie S]

They could have given it to Kaori or Amber...

Or Alysa. Or Ilia (or did he win it last year?). Yuma. Anybody else!

Alysa.

 

[victorskid]

They pointed out that it was "based on points" throughout the season, including at Olympics and Worlds...

No, it was Chock/Bates last year.

They pointed out that it was "based on points" throughout the season, including at Olympics and Worlds...

Yeah, I know they mentioned it - and they said the same last year when ChoBat won because people were pissy over it.

Honestly, they'd be better off letting that award be a fan vote too.

 

[jägerbomb]

Cizeron needs to lay off the unnecessary fillers and botox. The change in four years is shocking.

What do they mean by points?

Edited to add: Nevermind. I'll look it up.

 

[SHARPIE]

Oh, gross. Skaters of the Year - Fournier-Beaudry/Cizeron.

The final shit show of the year.

Reddit has a pic of Isabeau Levito and Stephen Gogolev at the Awards looking like a couple, or a "plus one" or the photographer just asked them to stand closer and quickly snapped a pic, I don't know.

Hopefully this link works. (Last pic)

Did I miss a whole thing?

Yes this showed up on my skating twitter where they of course insinuated it’s a thing. Is it actually? They do look good together I must say!

For those of you who don't go to X, the first pic is of them sitting together in the arena, and the second is of them standing next to each other out on the town with Berulava and Egadze.
